  2. Shin splints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_splints

    Shin splint pain is described as a recurring dull ache, sometimes becoming an intense pain, along the inner part of the lower two-thirds of the tibia. [4] The pain increases during exercise, and some individuals experience swelling in the pain area. [5] In contrast, stress fracture pain is localized to the fracture site. [6]

  3. Stress fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_fracture

    A stress fracture is a fatigue-induced bone fracture caused by repeated stress over time. Instead of resulting from a single severe impact, stress fractures are the result of accumulated injury from repeated submaximal loading, such as running or jumping. Because of this mechanism, stress fractures are common overuse injuries in athletes. [1]

  4. Medial collateral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_collateral_ligament

    Depending on the grade of the injury, the lowest grade (grade 1) can take between 2 and 10 weeks for the injury to fully heal. Recovery times for grades 2 and 3 can take several weeks to several months. Treatment of a partial tear or stretch injury is usually conservative. Most injuries that are partial and isolated can be treated without ...

  5. Athletic taping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletic_taping

    Tape is often applied to manage symptoms of chronic injuries such as medial tibial stress syndrome (or shin splints), patella-femoral syndrome, and turf toe. [9] [10] [11] Athletic tape can be applied to ease pain symptoms as well. Taping along the nerve tract of irritated or inflamed tissue can shorten the inflamed region and reduce pain.

  6. Running injuries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_injuries

    A stress fracture is a fatigue-induced bone fracture caused by repeated stress over time. Instead of resulting from a single severe impact, stress fractures are the result of accumulated injury from repeated submaximal loading, such as running or jumping. Because of this mechanism, stress fractures are common overuse injuries in athletes. [18]

  7. Medial knee injuries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_knee_injuries

    Valgus stress at 0° and 20°- This test puts direct stress on the medial knee structures, reproducing the mechanism of injury. Valgus stress testing is done with the patient supine on the exam table. The lower extremity, supported by the examiner, is abducted. The examiner's fingers monitor the medial joint space for gapping while placing the ...

  8. Bone fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_fracture

    A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress, or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture. [3]

  9. Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popliteal_artery...

    Medial tibial stress syndrome: Pain occurs over the shin bone (the tibia) with running or other sport-related activity. [17] Fibular and tibial stress fracture: Non-displaced microscopic fracture of the fibular and tibia occurs in many athletes, especially runners, and also in non-athletes who suddenly increase their activity level.
